Apparently I bought the set on eBay half asleep last night. 😅 More than I would’ve liked to have paid, but at least I don’t have to keep going into my Walmarts anymore. One good side note. I hit Walmart after a movie last night. No shipper…but did pick up a blaster of Prizm basketball. Ended up pulling a Silver Wemby. I always end up trying to get a silver Prizm of the big rookies every year. Saved myself 275 bucks by pulling him from a pack.

So…no shipper at my home Walmart…but there was a stabbing there this morning. There is more of a chance of me being involved in a violent crime at my lovely Walmart than there is of finding the figures I want. I’m glad they switched the Classified Retro Card Duke, Scarlett, and Recondo to fan channel exclusives instead of just Walmart exclusives.

With the rvd being shown are they doing ecw as a brand in the war? No, its in his 1997 Raw attire against Jeff Hardy. Although he DID wear that throughout Spring-Fall of '97 on ECW TV. You just have to add wrapped Hands or Compressor gloved hands from other RVD releases. Because he started wearing Wrapped hands and Compressor gloves around that time.

WHy do I get the feeling that THIS is going to be the line where they throw in the '96 Face champion Shawn Michaels in a regularly worn (not just a one or two off) attire that I've been begging for for years?

This is exhausting. Sorry our little plastic men depreciated in value. I’ll be getting the Cena. Although, isn’t there a part of you that KNEW these meltdowns were going to happen the minute you saw these listed? I knew it was coming and I’m not disappointed.

It looks like there only one or two full sets of the MNW on the displays so you pretty much got to be the first one to get there or you miss out. Then they won’t usually get anymore of them. These stores should really start working on loading shelves back up once they go empty. What a useless display. No fense mattel, but that will be empty after the first 2 collectors notice it. Man i remember these shippers being at least 4 deep back in the day. Seems pointless. Might as well just put them up on pegs. You’ll start seeing in toy groups pics of guys just posting pics of the display they bought from the store with only the MNW and Paul Bearer chases on it. With #Earlybirdgetstheworm and #HustleHarder tags.

As someone who started collecting on Elite series 1 and owns every main line figure from 1-39, this is very good, they should keep doing this Every single one of these had single joint arms, stagnant hands, and many had bad face scans (some of which unfortunately still do on the Vault releases). The argument that they should never release these again is stupid EXACTLY. Also, I’m getting the legends themed figs from this series, but I think I’m going to keep the originals too, because, they are just different enough for me to keep, and they have another place in my collection now, so I can pose THESE better, and leave the other ones more static posed…if that makes sense. IIRC that is the first Phenom-era attire (Survivor Series 1996) I always thought it looked great…it eventually involved into his 1997-early ‘99 look. And ‘97-‘99 IMO is PEAK Underaker. That is my Definitive era, and with the MNW, The Legends, the Ultimate, the old Network Spotlight, and a better rerelease here. We kinda have that whole era covered.

"From the Vault" secretly means Mattel is stealing the value of people's collections lmao The REAL value was the MSRP, unofficial secondary parties put a “value” on it, and even then it wasn’t concrete. All of these figures ALWAYS WERE fair game for rereleases and improvements at some point. Mattel saw money in rereleasing them with improved articulation, heads and whatnot…so they did. The only value these should hold is what YOU assign to them. You want an investment, go with past lines, not Mattel WWE, because as long as they are a LIVE line (I mean a currently ongoing line) they are fair game, that’s the rule of all the MAJOR toy makers. You want to invest, play the stock market. Current mass produced lines and ultra modern trading cards aren’t a smart “investment”.

That RVD face is horrible. If not for the attire, I’d never know that was RVD. It looks like Matt Jackson doing a stupid little cosplay as RVD.

I’d love blue LOD and LOD 2000.(I know that version sucked but it looked cool.) That and Mattel doing LOD’s ‘97 attire would be great too!

Bull Nakano announced as going into the HOF. Seems like a very toyetic wrestler to hopefully get into figure form. Hopefully with Bill’s obsession with Japanese wrestlers, we can get her (and Muta…and PLEASE Inoki)

I just realized..." , the Headbangers are probably going to be thrown into the Monday Night Wars Line and I'm going to have to end up paying $50 each to get em aren't I?" . I would imagine they would be in the MNW or the Legends line. Even if they go with MNW first, they prob would get another release 2 years later in the Legends line (I believe most Legends contracts are 5 years). Do we even know how many series a year we will get of MNW? They've announced 3 sets and the first one hasn't even hit Walmart yet. Prob looking at next year for hitting stores if they are in MNW (and the line is still around). And the Uncle Paul exclusives are $40 (if you are fast enough). I’ve been checking periodically. The only one I’ve been able to get from Paulmart is Hogan. This is shaping up to be another mess. Whodathunkit?

Hey, Steve, could you please NOT throw the Headbangers in the MNW line? I actually want to find them and not have to pay $50-$70 each. Thanks.
